The Furies: Private Investigator Charlie Parker looks evil in the eye in the globally bestselling series (Charlie Parker Thriller)

Product Information

Quinn informs Parker about the occult connection to the investigation, which is evident when certain symbols are found not only at the murder scenes, but also in Buker’s room at a local flophouse along with a new tattoo on his forearm. The two stories are linked by a seemingly inconsequential run-down hotel; The Braycott, home to those on the downward path or all the way along it. The Furies is an excellent example of a series that delights in horrifying and uplifting its readers simultaneously; long may it continue to do so. In the first novella, the Sisters Strange, we meet two sisters, who might be old spinsters except for their strange connection to one Raum Buker, a degenerate whose most recent prison tattoos might lead one to think he dabbles in the occult.

Who am I to try and tell you how magnificent an author John Connolly is, and how I’ve enjoyed The Furies? I have a soft spot for scary tales during the Halloween season, so I am happy to report that John Connolly and his trusty protagonist do not disappoint. A friend of Charlie's wants Dolors all to himself but fears she might still have feelings for the creepy guy. Judging by the fact that Connolly’s first novel is the namesake of my blog, it’s no secret that I am a big fan and with a series as long-running as this it is a wonder as to how John keeps the quality at such an unmatched level.Meanwhile, Lyle Pantuff and Gilman Veale stay at Braycott Arms, a “shithole” hotel suitable for their ilk. But it may be that those clients are more capable of taking care of themselves than anyone could have imagined. A chance encounter in a Berlin hotel with celebrated author Erich Ackerman gives Maurice an opportunity.

In his attempt to help the sisters, Charlie finds himself drawn into what should be a simple theft of some valuable coins but this is a Charlie Parker thriller so of course nothing is as simple as it seems. Putting them together like this, and with the Sisters Strange coming first, this is a long, but tight book. Although I enjoyed this edition to the Charlie Parker series and thought it was very well done, I want a full fledged book and will be eagerly waiting for the next book in the series. However, he will learn that she is far from a victim, and her own aggression and determination will be more invaluable than any help he could provide her.New York Times bestselling author John Connolly pits Parker against two separate—but vitally connected—investigations, which prove to be among the most complicated of his entire career. Dolors (spelled correctly) and Ambar (also correct) are or were involved with the same creepy, just-out-of-prison guy up in Maine, where all this happens. To add insult to injury, two men have robbed her of personal items that amounted to all she had left of Kara.

The Furies by John Connolly is actually two novellas connected by theme and a somewhat disreputable hotel. As usual, he turns to his good friends for help so we have appearances from Louis and Angel and the Fulci brothers. Little does Buker know that Kepler is coming to Maine for him, and not even Parker will be able to save him.I read this book (or these two books, as they are 2 different, completely unrelated stories) in just under a day.
